lyrics

Needle in the haystack
I found you
Cuts wide open, ligaments exposed
Sorry face, sore disgrace to your family
Almost thought I'd join you
Selflessness is keeping me alive

Read the obituary, it didn't seem so clear
At the time, everything reminded me of that night on the pier

Do I drop in the water, let it flow
What's my decision here
Do I drop in the water, let it flow
Or should I let you go

Oh my fucking god
What have I done
It reads like angst between these lines
But I regret so many things in all of my past lives

Is this what you wanted, not like it really matters
Keep calling I keep calling and still nobody answers
The ghost of a beautiful, pure fucking soul
Six feet under, broke off one half a whole

Leave it, let it go
Serotonin syndrome has locked me into manic mode
Am I fucked up, what is my fucking deal
So far I think you weren't lying when you said you had issues

Schismatic lobotomy
"You've got psychological issues pal"
Says the one who killed themself
Rolling on the floor laughing
About some shock commentary bullshit
Who can I make mad today
So far just myself

Oh my fucking god
What have I done
It reads like angst between these lines
But I regret so many things in all of my past lives

I found you
Cuts wide open, ligaments exposed
Sorry face, sore disgrace to your family
Almost thought I'd join you
Selflessness is keeping me alive

Is this what you wanted, not like it really matters
Keep calling I keep calling and still nobody answers
The ghost of a beautiful, pure fucking soul
Six feet under, broke off one half a whole

Is this what you wanted
So be it
